Unmerited
Kindness
flowing out
in wine and chocolate chip cookies,
in smiles and eyes, in words and hidden acts
Grace
flowing down
in water and wine and blood
over dark soul nights, to unworthy us
Love
flowing over
from hearts and hands, eyes and lips
in forgiveness again, and again—every time
Gifts
ever flowing
that we cannot earn, cannot repay,
we humbly receive with open, empty hands
Full
over flowing
hands and hearts, eyes and lives—
Lord teach us to receive with gladness and joy!
